僕の心の片隅にも 出しっ放しの何かがあるよ このままじゃいけないとそう気づいていたのに 見ないふりをしていたんだ

膨大な時間を 何だってできる可能性 自由はそこにある

何度目の青空か？ 数えてはいないだろう 陽は沈みまた昇る 当たり前の毎日 何か忘れてる 何度目の青空か？ 青春を見逃すな 夢中に生きていても 時には見上げてみよう (晴れた空を) 今の自分を無駄にするな

蛇口の水に触れてみたら その冷たさに目を覚ましたよ ほとばしる水しぶき　与えられた命は 掌(てのひら)に重たかった

いつかやるつもりと 頭の中で思ってても 永遠は短い

何度目の青空か？ 数えてはいないだろう 陽は沈みまた昇る 当たり前の毎日 何か忘れてる 何度目の青空か？ 青春を見逃すな 夢中に生きていても 時には見上げてみよう (晴れた空を) 今の自分を無駄にするな

目を閉じてみれば聴こえて来るだろう 君が出しっ放しにしてる音 僕らも空も晴れだけじゃない

この次の青空は いつなのかわからない だから今　空見上げ　何かを始めるんだ 今日できることを… この次の青空は 自分から気づくだろう 涙が溢れてても 太陽は滲(にじ)まないさ (ちゃんと見れば) 君はもっと強くなれるよ 今を生きるんだ (時は流れても) 僕は流されない At the edge of the schoolyard, reflecting light Was a water tap someone forgot to turn off Things important to us Always seem to flow past I covered my ears in the wind

And in a corner of my heart, too There's something that's been left running Though I realized that yes, I can't just leave it like this I pretended I didn't see it

In this great expanse of time I have the opportunity to do anything The freedom is there

How many blue skies have there been? Too many to count, I think The sun sets and rises again Every day unchanging We forget something How many blue skies have there been? Don't let youth pass you by Even if you live in daydreams Try looking up once in a while (At the clear sky) Don't let who you are now go to waste

When I tried touching the water from the tap The icy coldness opened my eyes In the sheet of water spraying up The life I've been given Became heavy in my hands

Even if you think in your mind "I'll do it someday" Eternity is short

How many blue skies have there been? Too many to count, I think The sun sets and rises again Every day unchanging We forget something How many blue skies have there been? Don't let youth pass you by Even if you live in daydreams Try looking up once in a while (At the clear sky) Don't let who you are now go to waste

If you close your eyes You might be able to hear The sound of what's still on in you Neither ourselves nor the skies are always sunny

I don't know when The next blue sky will be That's why I'm looking up right now, starting something Something I can do today... The next time the sky is blue You might notice it yourself Even if your tears are overflowing The sun won't be crying (If you really look) You'll become stronger

I'm alive right now (Though time is flowing) I won't wash away
